LOL I predict two trade downs by Gute this year before we select a player. This team needs as many picks as it can get from late first to mids. The tight ends and safety runs happen between our current early picks. We will need to support each other when the trade downs kill our dreams.

Cody Mauch is built too much like Dean Lowry to be one of my guys. Not saying this will be the answer for your OL but checkout Nick Saldiveri and Sidy Sow.

That 10 RAS must look very good to Gute............maybe even more so after passing on Center Creed Humphrey (also a 10 RAS), to draft Myers in 2021 and comparing their career arcs since.

Saldiveri has been a staple of my draft simulations when I don't go OL in the first. He seems to tick the boxes at the time when I am a bit lost in those scenarios.

A lot to work with here. The 6'7" athlete now weighs over 300 pounds. Yet he ran a 4.89-second 40-yard dash at his pro day. The former basketball player's 37-inch vertical and 10'3" broad jump would have either tied or bested the top numbers ever for the position at the combine since the NFL began to reveal the results.

PackFan13 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I'm not sure how it works in terms of points but a trade from 15 to 29 and 40 from the Saints would be pretty amazing if the board breaks poorly for us. 29, 40, 42, 45 in the first two rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I swear that one guy tried to do an absurd Thompson draft and had a ton of 7ths, it was pretty funny. Kincaid and Zay are neither my cup of tea. But I wouldn't be worried about them playing similar roles in an offense. I don't think they are that one dimensional that they couldn't make it work. Nothing about Kincaid tells me he can't line up like an outside WR like we have done in the past with Finley and Tonyan. And likewise, I think they could utilize Flowers in many of the same ways that Cobb has been used in the past, if Kincaid (or Watson or Doubs) were lined up in the slot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my incomplete thoughts... This team needs pass catchers. Right now, we have Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Aaron Jones. Nobody else on the roster has surpassed 400 yards on a season. And if you eliminate AJ Dillon, that number drops to 300 yards. So we are counting on players increasing their productivity, and some new targets as well. I don't think that the best fit for each guy is as big of a concern as just getting some gross production at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of WR/TE early I just don't like the pairing as much with Kincaid and Zay. I'm not sure how well Zay would work on the boundary at his size.

We'll still need more but JSN could do wonders for that stat if they want to go that route, but you are right we need more help than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do like JSN. I think he is going to be good. But one thing to note, if Jarrett Boykin has taught us anything, volume of targets does wonders for production. So while I was calling for more pass catchers, we don't necessarily need tip-top superstar guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieHigh Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Jsn gets run down from behind by so many guys. I get the attraction to chain movers but its just not for me at 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally fair. I wouldn't mad with Zay instead of Kincaid or whoever they deem to be the better wr/te. I took Kincaid because he fell so far and I'm a homer. Pass catcher early is all I ask Edited April 15, 2023 by PackFan13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Also, I want to add that I am still pretty high on Samori Toure. He had very limited action last season, and with the departure of Lazard, Tonyan, and probably Cobb, and even Watkins, there will be a lot more targets to spread around. Again, I am not projecting a super star or anything, but nothing I saw from him last season suggests that he is bad and needs to be replaced.
